Why Double-Yelked Eggs Should Not Be
Used for Purposes.

Why Double-Yelked Eggs Should Not Be
Used for Incubation Purposes.
Double yelked eggs are produced by
abnormal nutriment of some sort, or
else excess of germ; but for table use
they are all the more valuable on &C
count of their additional weight
Such eggs, of course, should never be
used for incubation purposes, but for
all that they are in some cases. There
+ still some poultry keepers who.
having heard something about doubled
yelked eggs producing double chicks.
or chicks that are deformed in some
way, will try the experiment and set a
few of these eggs, thinking that they
may, perhaps, make something by SELL
ing them as curiosities.
Now, such breeders are doomed to
disappointment as they should be, for
if the eggs hatch at all, they will gen.
orally produce two separate and dis
tinct chicks which are ..twins," but
neither of them will be as large OF
healthy as they would if they came
from separate eggs. Sometimes a de-

do not generally live more than a day
or two, and the majority of them die in
the shell.
All deformed and unnatural chicks
are generally formed by only one yelk
of a double yelked egg beng fertilized,
for when both yelks are fertilized they
will always produce two chicks seper-
ate from each other. When each yclk
contains the germ of a chick, it will
naturally develop in its own yelk, and
will be separate and distinct from the
other germ. The white of the egg has
nothing whatever to do with the for
nation of the chick, butis simply used
as nourishment for two or three days
before Matching, and serves to give il
strength sufficient to break the hard
shell around it. The breaking of the
shell is IL of the hardest tasks of life
for a perfectly well formed chick, and
it is for this reason that the deformed
chicks generally die in the shell. as
the breaking of it is too much for them
to accomplish successfully Farm

The Cigarette Habit.

The habit of smoking cigarettes
among public officials is alarmingfy on
the increase. 1t is due, no doubt, to
the fact that the cigarette affords a
ean of satisfying an appetite or
ing for tobacco, and affords enough
pleasure to the smoker to last for the
time it is wanted. "a cigar or a pipe
is too much of a SMOKE" said an Off
cial talking about the matter. ..in the
office, where you are liable to be called
on at a moments notice by a lady or
summoned into the presence of a supe-
rior. In an emergency of the kind the
little thing al be thrown aside. The
cigarette. You see, is cheap" Army
officers as a rule were noticed to be adj
dicted largely to the habit of using the
cigarette. They find it cheaper, in the
long run. than cigars. Nearly all the
young men, and, in fact, not a few of
the old men in high social life, a be

BRAINS 4 i
How to Keep Them 1T Work ut An Time
and in All Places.


and In All Places.
Bishop Peck has lately produced
some prominent ideas about dormant
forces and idle muscles. He instances
the idle young man. No power comes
from his muscles. They were made to
be strong for work, but he does moth
ing. His muscular ability is simply
good for nothing, and he is good for
nothing. Devoted to agriculture or
handicraft, the physical force which is
dormant within him would give bread
and health and responsibility. As it
is, he is only a nuisance; perhaps a
toathsome object of pity and contempt.
And the Bishop takes the true ground,
that an Industrious young boot-black
is better, and is better off, than a loaf
Ing miscreant sprig of a~ristocracy.
Work is demanded every where. All
departments of industry are languish-
ing for want of faithful, skilled work
ers, whether it be making streets, saw
ing wood, or in the higher branches of
skill and art. and yet. witnesses the
good bishop, amid all the din Of
labor in farming, manufactures, in all
the industrial arts, these men have
nothing to do! How did other men get
workp By thinking quickly and act
Ing promptly, by seizing the best, the
first that came to hand. Tramping.
Longing, begging, never gave employ
ment to any man. The thousands OF
idlcrs have made themselves viciously
brainless. The lapse of powers, active
and bright enough in children, has
come of parental indulgence, gor-
mandizing, laziness, INDUCED depend
ence, drinking. disuse or instruction.
Grand fields of industry. wealth and
usefulness lie all around this idle,
shiftless nuisance, but he can not think
himself into them. He has lost his
sole cyesight. The very bread, money,
comforts, elegancies he signs for are
within reach of his hands, but he can
not see them; wouldn't know them if
he did see them.
But he does not only denounce the
idler, he tells him how to find employ
ment. Employ yourself then. Sell
that apple instead of eating il. Sell it
and buy two. Sell the two and buy
more. Before you know it you will
have a basketful-be trader, a mer-
chant, a valuable,'citizen. Do not hang
about the city doing nothing. Push

sTovE-pIpE HATS.

A Scientist Them the Cause
of the Common Form OF Badness.
The habit of wearing arm cover
ings on the head is not of recent date;-
the armies of Europe, for instance, no
inconsiderable number of men, with
heads close cropped, have worn for a
long period warmer and heavier head
gear than the modern dwellers in
cities, without the same tendency to
badness. Nor are the heavy fur Gov
erings of northern races Incompatible
with luxuriant hair. 1t is also difficult
to understand what injury can result
from close cutting per Sc. The growth
is in the ~hair-follicle, and in it alone;
there is no vital connection between
the hair outside the scalp and within;
it is usually cut closest at the back of
the head and neck, where badness
never occurs Would not close cutting
rather stimulate the growth by ex-
posture of the scalp? Such at least is
the popular belief. So, too, with in
door life: women, who ought to show
it most, whether in the home or in the
factory, are never bald as men are; on
the contrary, it is most common with
men in good circumstances, as MI.
Eaton's statistics show, men who spend
a larger proportion of their daytime
in the open air than the indoor worker.
/ believe the common form of bald
ness is due entirely to the kind of hat
that is worn, principally to the high
IHk o11 kLo heal fa1k hck HIT ,1c, -
any other head-covering that constructs
the blood-vessets tohich nourtsh the hair
bselbs. To have a clearer understand
ing of this, we must remember hat the
scalp is supplied with blood by arteries
at the back, sides and front of, and ly-
ing close to, the skull, which diminish
in size by frequent branching as they
converge toward the top of the head.
They are in most favorable position to
be compressed, lying on unyielding
bone and covered by thin tissue. Con-
slider what effect must be produced by
a close-ftting, heavy and rigid hat; its
pressure must lessen to a certain ex-
tent the flow of arterial blood, and OBJ
struct to a greater extent the return of
the venos; che result being a sluggish
circulation in the capilliaries around
the hair follicles and bulbs, a conse-
quent impairment of nutrition, and
final atrophy. This pressure is not
trivial or imaginary, as any n will
admit who has noticed the red band of
| congestion on the forehead when a
hard hat is remov I'd after moderate
exercise.-W C. Goutnlock, in Popular
Science MONTHLY.

waved her lequacious companion from
the room. "What a narrow escape l
have hadr!' And now Mrs. Winchester
hastily sought her writing materials
and proceeded to unite the ante-nuptial
knot. She wrote:
mr. B~RowNE-Dedr Str: Please consider
our engagement at an end. I would not run the
risk OF wounding your feelings by stating the
reason Of this sudden change Of sentiment, ex-
cept for the fear that you might consider
me capricious and unjust. The fact Is, I

poised for fully five minutes. How cosld

circumstances would be an intoleraple and IN
supportable burden. Yours hastily,
MRS. G. M. WINCHESTER"
The widows bell rang, and the letter
was Immediately rushed in the mail
bag, and within five minutes was on its
way to the villain who snored.
Half an hour later Nellie entered the
invalid's DON with an excuse from her
mistress.
"She'n be up directly, man," she
said, .'and she told me to give you this
letter that the gintleman left for ye."
The ~supersensitive widow could
hardly bring herself to touch the docu-
ment with the tips of her dainty fingers.
1t was impossible not to be contami-
mated by eve the most superficial re-
lations with a person who snored. But
as the lady often remarked of herself,
she was just, and so the brief note wa
read instead Of being destroyed. This
is what she found:
mrs. WINcHEsrER-Dedr Madam: Pardon
what may seem at first glance akin to brutal
candor, but 1 wish to respectfully revoke my
promise OF marriage. 1 have no doubt that you
are allthat is sweet and estimable, but I have
discovered that yousnore, and life with q woman

and ineradicable.

SENSIBLE DIVERSION.
Young Ladies' Cooking Clubs Formed for
Highly Useful Purposes.

Young Ladies' Cooking Clubs Formed for
Highly Useful Purposes.
1t is now quite a fashionable diver
sion for young ladies and girls to form
clubs for the purpose of learning how
to cook both plain and fancy articles of
food. Clubs generally number eight
or ten girls. Each M cooks at home
some one article suitable for luncheon,
and then all meet at the house of one
of the members, where the table is set
and every thing is in readiness for their
entertainment. The young lady hostess
| provides one substantial course, such as
chops and peas, or beefsteak and to-
mato sauce. Every thing else is con
tributed by the guests, who, when they
arrive promptly at the hour stated,
hand to the servant whatever they have
| prepared. with directions whether it is
to be kept hot or placed on the table
setting the table t~astefully, orders three
or four sets of plates heated, and extra
knives and forks placed ear at hand.
After the arrival of the guests, lunch
eon..is Immediately announced and is
more or less elaborate, as the case may
be.
1t has been my privilege to watch the
growth of one or more of these clubs,
and in order to stimulate young people
to follow the good example of these en-
terprising and surprisingly successful
cooks, 1 ventured to ask for their reel.

kindly enclosed the menu of their last
luncheon, and described the table
decorations. The lunch cards were
made of yellow blotting paper, on
which the names were written with
gold paint. Through the orn of
each card was thrust a yellow daffodil
Under the bowl of flowers which serv-
ed as center piece was a square of yel-
low blotting-paper, on which was
painted, in rough outline with golC
paint, a dainty jonquil pattern, which
looked quite like the shadow of the
bright yellow blossoms in the bowl.
The napkins were Japanese, of a dull
yellow color. Oranges were arranged
with yellow bananas on either side O.
the center-piece. The prize consisted
of a string of amber beads.
With very little trouble, the effec'
produced was quite novel and pretty,
and can be copied readily, unlike
many things that require the outlay O
much time and money. The prize at
these clubs is awarded to her who ha'
the most votes for what she has cooked

luncheon.-Good Cheer.

Ancient Boots and Shoes.

The ancient Jews had many curious
customs in connection with their foot
coverings. Priests entered the temple
barefooted (out of respect for the
Deity, and likewise took their meals
with uncovered feet, excepting at the
Easter feast. To remove the shoe and
give it to another was the sign of the
transfer of ownership in any thing.
Thus, the future husband gave his
af1ianced bride his shoe. On the death
of a parent, to express bereavement
no foot covering was o The wom-
en- wore colored shoes. Azure was at
that period the symbol of the Holy
Spirit, and by somc the shoe was worn

epoch the higher classes seem to have
adopted Il style of foot covering as lux
urious as it was original. The inside
was perfumed with extracts of incense,
myrrh and amber, while the outside
was ornamented with little bronze bells
and iawels.-Shoe and Leather ReUieW.
